If you also like anachronism stories, you might like Jerry Pournelle's Janissaries. It is not time travel, but has a similar feel (some modern soldiers are transported to a world that has been previously populated by batches of humans from earlier phases of Earth's history, and for some reason they haven't progressed).

How about the first one I ever read "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court"
http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/t#a53 or Poul Anderson's Time Patrol novels.. can find at Baen Free Books except this particular one and the others in the series are 5 bucks. In fact, you can find quite a few of the books there cheaply, like the Andre Norton ones someone else listed. http://www.baen.com My favorite though is still Connie Willis and "To Say Nothing of the Dog" which someone else suggested. A number of hers deal with time travel. The Doomsday Book is another, dealing with the plague in the middle ages England. "Planet Of The Apes" by Pierre Boulle was actually a far better book than the cheesy movie it has long been. To Your Scattered Bodies Go (of the Riverworld series by Philip Jose Farmer) is fascinating. The main char dies and winds up somewhere populated by everyone who has ever died on earth. It's different Gordon Dickson's Time storm Robert Adam's Castaways In Time Julian May's The Many Colored Land Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/139 Edgar Rice Burroughs - The Land That Time Forgot http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/551 David Drake's Time Safari R A MacAvoy's The Book of Kells Vernor Vinge's Marooned in Realtime (bobbling forward not backward like most) Can also be found in the omnibus "Across Realtime" with a short story and another time travel novel of his. Joshua Dann's Timeshare, easy to read escapist Last edited by wayspooled; 01-19-2009 at 01:34 AM. Reason: <edit: The title of the book is "To Your Scattered Bodies Go", not Riverworld which is the series name> |

I'm partial to Keith Laumer and he has quite some great time stories. The best of them is probably The Dinosaur Beach, available in Odyssey collection:
http://www.webscription.net/p-301-odyssey.aspx The Lighter Side has several of more light-hearted stories. I especially liked The Great Time Machine Hoax. http://www.webscription.net/p-249-the-lighter-side.aspx Then there's the Imperium series: http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/1...arCD/Imperium/ |

Zelazny's Roadmarks is also a time travel story. Sorta.
Clifford Simak also wrote a number of short stories that involved time travel, though the titles don't come to me offhand. Another Heinlein time travel story is the novel The Door into Summer, which is one of my all-time favorites. (I can't imagine how I forgot to list it earlier!) |

It's very good yes, but clearly very heavily influenced by "All You Zombies", which was in turn a development of Heinlein's earlier story "By His Bootstraps".

A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury and Vintage Season by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore. |

Nobody mentioned the enormous library of Doctor Who books. I mean he *is* a time and space traveller.
